题目分析:
本题主要考查more和most在措辞区别。
选项分析:
A选项: Correct. 本选项在语法和逻辑上均是正确的。
B选项:在选项的开始出现了what has yet been discovered of the close evolutionary relationship between dinosaurs and birds(比之前发现的这些证据都要更引人注目)。在逻辑上,既然比现在已发现的所有证据都要更加引人注目,那么显然就相当于这个证据是已发现的证据中是最引人注目的。因此,用most dramatic这种表达更为高效。
C选项:more错误同选项(B)。
D选项:本选项在more和most的措辞上是没有问题的,但that have yet been discovered这个定语从句是不正确的。该定语从句会就近修饰一个复数名词,但不管是鸟,还是恐龙,抑或是恐龙和鸟,均是不正确的。在逻辑上,“到现在为止被发现”的应该是证据。
E选项:本选项错误同选项 (B)。
用排除法
应该是evidence of the close relationship between dinosaurs and birds, 所以the close relationship和between dinosaurs and birds不能分开用,between dinosaurs and birds是定语用来修饰the close relationship. 另外dramatic是adj,放在名词前面。more dramatic evidence有歧义,要用evidence that is more dramatic than ...来表示dramatic的比较,或者用more evidence that is dramatic than ...来表示更多。
所以可以排除BCE
D that have yet been discovered是限制性定语从句,修饰的是dinosaurs and birds, "现在已经发现的恐龙和鸟类”,但是发现的是evidence。
